People who pull out in front of someone and go 5-10 mph below the speed limit. I have narrowed down why people do this to a few things. 1. They just don't see you. If someone pulls out in front of me and honestly just did not see me I can get over them driving like they are on a Vespa(Motor Scooter). 2. They think you are going too fast and need to slow down anyway. This reason is garbage. My dad always would say "They were probably going too fast anyway." No dad they were probably just a person with stuff going on in their life that didn't want to get stuck behind you going 30. 3. The driver can not judge distance. Numbers 2 and 3 are not acceptable.
Slow drivers in the left lane on the Interstate. This makes me want to ram the back of the car and knock them off the road. I have no problem with people who want to go 60 on the Interstate as long as I am not driving with them, but why on earth do some feel the need to drive 60 in the fast lane. This is not acceptable, and I really think cops (Scum) should start enforcing this.
People who do not know how to or won't use a cruise control. A perfect example of this is letting someone pass you who then gets in front of you and slows down to a speed that is slower than you have been traveling the entire time. You then have to pass them back. After a few minutes this person will decide they want to go fast again where upon they will pass you and once again slow down forcing you to pass back. This is ridiculous. I don't care if you want to go faster than me, slower than me, or the same speed but make up your damn mind.
People with no sense of direction or preparation. If you do not know how to get somewhere ask or go to google maps. Don't ride around just hoping you will find the place you are going. There's too many roads to just get lucky and run into the place you are going. If you are taking a vacation and are not sure where exactly you are going then print a map. There's ten free websites that will give you step by step directions. Getting lost in today's society is really unacceptable because of the technology that is given to us. If you use all the tools provided and still get lost you probably just need to ride with someone.
People who obsessively use their horns. Come on please stop this. The only time I use my horn is when I am honking at someone to say hey. My first example of this is the lady that delivers mail to my house. If she has a package that won't fit in the mailbox she comes into the driveway and honks her horn 10 to 20 times. If we did not hear the first three then we are either not here or are not coming out. Honking 10 times is overkill. I can hear her going all of the neighborhood honking like a crazy person. My second example is when someone is honking to say F U to another driver. Instead of honking just roll your window down and yell at them. Hiding behind your horn is weak. Give them the real effect and yell.
This part does not go along with bad drivers, but most of the time it involves being on the road. Cops who think they are a king make me want to throw up. The first thing I will say is that I do know cops who are great people that this paragraph is in no way related to. I even have many relatives who are in law enforcement. Over my time I have had many dealings with cops that have taught me a lot about them. Most cops are sorry people. They have never had a life because no one liked them as they went through high school/college. If they had a life they would in most cases understand what is going on and be more lenient in their dealings with people. Hell if they had a life they probably wouldn't even be a cop in the first place. Cops who hide out and write people tickets are a joke. How is this protecting society?? Sitting up in the woods with your lights off where the speed goes from 65 to 55 to 45 in less than a half a mile is a speed trap. Now days I immediately think the worst of a cop when I first meet them. They don't respect regular people so why should I give them my respect. I will steal a line from a Corey Smith song to finish this paragraph. "for every cop who thinks his badge is a crown. This song is for you and I'll never bow down" Corey Smith "Fuck the Po-Po" go listen to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YPc8FYA6D8
Most people are good drivers that know the laws, where they are going, and the common courtesies of driving and to those of you I tip my hat. I drive a lot with work and run into all these situations regularly. Anyone else who drives a lot will understand why this is my first topic of discussion under things that bother me. If you have any other bad driver examples please let me know because I am sure I will agree with you on it. Be Safe!!
Peace
